Just to point to another possibility, since the drivers right hand is not in shot, even though his left hand is carefully poised over the steering wheel for the whole shot, it also looks like he pulled hard on the steering wheel with his right hand.

That might explain the car trying to re-route on the display, although I'm not even sure it does. To me it looks like the black line disappears into compression artefacts at just the right time.

Mostly I think we don't have enough evidence either way and speculating just expresses our desire for the technology to work or not.

You can see his right hand reflected in the display, it was just idle during the event.
Gotta give you that. He still might have moved the steering wheel with his thigh though ;-)

Crazy how it handled a shitty situation like around 6:55 in https://streamable.com/grihhc but failed there. Guess that shows what most of the ADAS engineers already know, the really hard part are those last few percentage points to make it actually reliable.
